I'm somewhat new to filters and I haven't had any luck configuring an
"Out Of Office" filter. If anyone has any suggestions, or examples of
filters they use for when they are out of the office, that would be
great!

Here's a breakdown of what I've done:
   1. I created a new "Incoming Mail" filter
   2. I put the string "@" for Sender
   3. Chose the Action "Auto Reply" with the text stating that I'm out
   of the office.

The problem that I've run into is if there is a system message from my
POP3 server, then an endless loop begins. For example, the server
sends back a reply saying that the e-mail address is invalid (or some
other odd error) then my filter responds saying that I'm out of
office. Then the POP3 server rejects the e-mail because it was a
server address and not an actual account. This continues until I turn
off the filter. So, I could have 500 e-mails that are all from the
looping filter.

Is there any way to exclude these types of e-mails from being
responded to?
